It is estimated that approximately one billion people are at risk of infection with obligate
intracellular bacteria, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms that govern their …

The ability to genetically manipulate a pathogen is fundamental to discovering factors
governing host–pathogen interactions at the molecular level and is critical for devising …

Our understanding of free-living bacterial models like Escherichia coli far outpaces that of
obligate intracellular bacteria, which cannot be cultured axenically. All obligate intracellular …

Over the last decades, rickettsioses are emerging worldwide. These diseases are caused by
intracellular bacteria. Although rickettsioses can be treated with antibiotics, a vaccine …

Survival of Ehrlichia chaffeensis depends on obligatory intracellular infection. One of the
barriers to E. chaffeensis research progress has been the inability, using conventional …

To replicate within host cells, intracellular bacteria have evolved different strategies to
invade, replicate, persist in, and eventually exit from their hosts. The intracellular lifestyle …
